Has or is

Hi, i'm currently proof reading a friend's work and i was wondering whether 'today's' can mean 'today has' or if it is simply lazy english and should be written in the full form. Can anyone tell the correct way to write it? Thanks in advance.

Hi Anon, as you probably know 's can be many things: is, has, saxon genitive... Why don't you provide us with a little bit more of context?

today's can certainly mean today has. There is no need to rewrite it.
Today's been a fine day. = Today has been a fine day.
